Antiquarian, Rare and Collectable (ARC) Books

Better World Books loves Antiquarian, Rare, and Collectible (ARC) books. Our team of ARC specialists will properly identify, care for and market these books to ensure their value is maximized and they find their way to happy homes.

Can I Box My Rare Material With My Discards and Donations?

Yes! Our sorting system is designed specifically to uncover antiquarian, rare and collectible material and separate for our specialists to evaluate and price.

Does Better World Books' ARC Department Accept Ex-Library Books?

Of course. While we welcome ex-library volumes, we ask that library treatments are not removed and that any stamps are placed discreetly in a single location – perhaps on the library's bookplate or title page.

Will Better World Books Accept Foreign Language Books?

Foreign language in Western script books are welcome, especially the Romance languages.

Who Should I Contact If I Have Questions About ARC Books?

Please contact your Account Representative if you have ARC-related questions or contact the ARC staff directly at ARC@betterworldbooks.com.
